Carolyn's First White Dress

We've been looking forward to Carolyn's church blessing day for over a month. 

I was planning to dress her in a white onesie.

Because that's what I had.

But I harbored this secret wish.

A silly, girly wish.

That my baby would have a beautiful white dress to be blessed in.

I wanted it to be special.

I didn't dare buy one because I told myself it was frivolous to pay good money for a dress she'd only wear once.

And even though I'd resigned myself to the white onesie, I still lusted.

So, imagine my surprise when Husband walked in the door Thursday night carrying a tiny garment bag.

In it was a bitty, frothy, girly, white blessing dress.

I hadn't mentioned a thing about it to him.

He'd picked it out himself.

It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

This may possibly be the sweetest thing I've come across in awhile. They shock you sometimes, don't they? I couldn't believe when my Adam said he was kind of excited to go to the store to pick out and buy baby clothes and bibs and blankets. I was speechless.

He won't even go to a store to buy himself new boxers. I have to buy them.
